resistance forces on the car

1. air resistance

Fdrag = -Cdrag * v *|v|

where,Cdrag is a constant

· Cdrag = 0.5 * Cd * A * rho

where Cd = coefficient of friction = 0.3 for corvette

A is frontal area of car = 2.2

rho (Greek symbol )= density of air = 1.29

Cdrag = 0.4257

· v is velocity vector

· |v| is speed

2.rolling resistance

Froll = -Croll * v

where, Croll is a constant

v is velocity vector

· Croll = 30* Cdrag

· Thus, Croll = 30 * 0.4257 = 12.8

So, the total force = Ftraction + Fdrag + Froll (all are vectorly added)
